INTRODUCTION. 



The Exercises in the ?/cs=TJnvocalized Corresponding- 
Style, ate intended for use, after the pupil has gone 
through the First Header, and are calculated to exercise 
him in vocalization especially, and in learning to read un- 
vocalize 1 outlines, as a useful preparation for entering upon 
the study of ihe reporting style. 

T> make a still nearer approach to the reporting style, these 
Exercises are in the acs=advanced corresponding style, 
which is characterized — 

1. By the use of Mel, Nel, Bel. See the Hand-Book, 
§ 161, Bem. 2. 

2. By the occasional omission of unaccented vowels, and 
even of accented vowels of well-known forms. See Hand- 
Book, § 239. 

3. By the considerable use of phrase-writing. 

4. By the use of a few word-signs in addition to those 
of the corresponding-style — such as are indicated in the 
Standard-Phonographic Dictionary after ac ; such as the 
/i-tick on the line for he. 

The mode <f using thete Exercises should be as follows : 
1. Bead the phonography with but little reference to

tlie key ; and when it can be read with great readiness, 
then — 

2. Copy and vocalize the outlines ; answer the questions; 
and study carefully those portions of the Hand-Book sug- 
gested, or referred to by the questions — especially if you 
find your memory of the substance of the instruction is 
not perfect : the mere memorizing of words is not insisted 
upon or valued. When you have familiarized the outlines 
by repeatedly copying and vocalizing them, then — 

3. Test the thoroughness of your study and practice, by 
writing each exercise fr*m\ the Key, using the proper out- 
lines, vocalizing them at first, then dropping all but the 
accented vowels, and even these at last. 

It is by no means intended that, in the vocalization, the 
student should vocalize the word-signs, contractions, pre- 
fixes or affixes. This would be an error. To get those 
signs as familiar as possible, review each day the Lists in 
the Hand-Book, or in the Synopsis, or in the Little Teach- 
er. The latter, a little pocket-size book, is very valuable 
in making such reviews, not only for its miniature size and 
portableness, but for its concise presentation and engrav- 
ing of the List*, and also for its brief presentation and 
illustration of the other chief corresponding-style jmnci- 
ples

COPYING BOOKS IN 
MONASTERIES. 

The religious orders had the 
monopoly almost a of the copying 
of books ; for, the number of lay- 
men possessing the requisite skill 
and learning 6 was very limited. 
Some orders, such-as-the c Carthu- 
sian** monks, made it one of their 
chief duties 6 , as they depended 
entirely on the pay derived / from- 
theirfi' labors to keep themselves 
independent of all charity. In 
every abbey or other religious 
house the inmates were allotted 
certain tasks, varying according 
to their mental and physical qual- 
ifications 71 ; but the task* that was 
most highly esteemed j, and 
which provided constant employ- 
ment, was copying books. A 
room called the scriptorium was 
specially set apart 4 for the

(e). Ditties.— Where should the u be

(f). Derived.— How might the first 
vowel be written ? 

(g). Under what rule is this phrase- 
sign made? How is the position de- 
termined ? If the character is written 
through the line, why is it not reck- 
oned as of the third position ?

which the copyists could place

avoid as far as possible any errors 
in grammar, spelling or punctu- 
ation In some cases, authors 
prefixed to their works solemn 
adjurations to those whose duty it 
was to transcribe them. For in- 
stance, Irenseus wrote : " I adjure 
thee who shalt transcribe this 
book, by our Lord Jesus Christ, 
an<l by his glorious coming to 
judge the quick and the dead, 
that thou compare what thou

Every possible precaution was 
taken to ensure strict accuracy in 
the copies, and it was the duty of 
certain monks to examine and 
compare carefully, every copy 
with the original. Other monks, 
again, had to busy themselves 
with illuminating the copies, and 
others with binding them. A 
beautiful specimen of the skill of 
the priests, is the copy of the Gos- 
pels, preserved in the Cotton Li- 
brary, which was written by Aed- 
frid, Bishop of Durham. The il- 
lumination, the capital letters, 
the pictures of the evangelists, 
were executed with consummate 
skill by his successor, Ethel wold% 
and the whole when finished, was

OBITUARY OF HENRY 
FAWCETT. 

With the death of the Right 
Hon. Henry Fawcett, passes away 
one of the most remarkable men 
of recent" days Mr. Fawcett 
was born at Salisbury [Solzberi] 
England, in 1833, and-was 6 edu- 
cated at Trinity Hail, Cambridge, 
whence he graduated with high 
mathematical honors in 1856. In 
the same year he was chosen a- 
Fellov\ c of his college. Though 
an -earnest 4 student, he e found 
time to indulge in field sports. 
When out shooting, in the Au- 
tumn of 1858, he met with an ac- 
cident that totally deprived him 
of sight. His interest in public 
affairs and-social/ sciences' re- 
mained* alive after this great mis- 
fortune, and he devised means

fur keeping up his studies. a Within 
a year after the loss of his eyesight 
he appeared in politics as a 6 Lib- 
eral, competing for the privilege 
to represent South wark in Parlia- 
ment. Having been defeated, he 
applied himself vigorously to the 
study and discussion of economic 
topics, contributing many articles 
to the magazines, and finally pre- 
senting to the world his "Manual 
of Political Economy," and "The 
Economic Position of the British 
Laborer. ' ' Meanwhile he had been 
elected Professor of Political Econ- 
omy in Cambridge, and after sev- 
eral defeats had got into Parlia- 
ment as the representative of 
Brighton, which cons ituency he 
represented continuously until 
1874. At the general election in 
that year he was defeated, but in 
the fo lowing year he was elected 
for Hackney RU literary - -

phrases : of a-n, to-a, or-a, but-a, on-a, 
should-a, and-a, is-a, as-a, has-a, with- 
a, were-a, what-a, would-a, beyond-a. 
This equalizes the phrase-forms.

a or an is almost always joined with a 
following word, while the, for greater 
distinctness, is almost always joined 
with the preceding word. For history

He revised bis " Manual 6 of Polit-

poor laws, and their influence on 
pauperism. The chapter on the 
latter topic he subsequently ex- 
panded into a book, and he also 
wrote a work entitled ' ' Free Trade 
and Protection. ' ' His wife assisted 
him in all his literary labors after 
1867, and he and she have jointly 
published a volume of essays and 
lectures. Mr Gladstone took Mr.

PRECIOUS OLD MANU- 
SCRIPTS. 

When the fifty- one a parchment 
rolls covered with dim, in some 
instances almost illegible 6 , He- 
brew characters of a strange 
archaic type, came into the pos- 
session** of the Imperial Library 
at St. Petersburg, the Librarian, 
not unnaturally -, viewed them 
with some suspicion. The story 
of a Ehcdian/ sailor having 
brought them to the Black 8ea 
w T as not calculated to inspire^ con- I 
fidence in those who are familiar 
with the cunning of the Greeks, 
and the reputation which those of 
that particular island bear 71 .

to doubt that, whatever may-be-

(a). Anterior. — What is the form for 
this word in the cs ? The ac represents 
the t here by shortening the n. The 
reporter drops the rr, writing the ant 
in the third position, thus distinguish- 



square writing of the ordinary- 
Hebrew, to which, however, they 
are evidently anterior." The char- 
acters used in the most recent of 
them originated not later than the 
second century after Christ ; and 
this is confirmed by the fact that 
some letters are almost identical 
with those known to have been 
used in Jerusalem in the first cen- 
tury 6 before Christ. 

As to the variations, they may 
be due, as the Professor remarks, 
either to later corrections or to 
the antiquity and purity of the 
text ; but in any case they prom- 
ise to be both interesting and 
valuable. — The Healthside.

how to make the angle between the

(b). Century. — This word also shows 
the same mode of making the junction,

HOW MUCH SLEEP? 

On this question, every one is a 
law to himself. The only true 
rule is, take enough.® Old Mother 
Means, in Eggleston's " Hoosier 
School-master, " advised her hus- 
band when buying cheap land, 
"While yer a gettin', get a plen- 
ty." 6 So say we in regard to sleep, 
a full c quantity of which is more 
valuable than the grandest prairie 
farms the sun ever shone upon. 

• It is during the wakeful hours 
that the muscles and the nervous 
system and brain expend their 
energies. Muscles are partially 
recruited during the day by nour-

MIKTH AS A MEDICINE. 

Mirth has a hygienic value that 
can hardly be overrated while 
our social life remains what the 
slavery of vices and dogmas has 
made it. Joy has been called the 
sunshine of the heart ; yet the 
same sun that calls forth" the 
flowers of a plant is also needed 
to expand its leaves and ripen its 
fruits ; and without the stimulus 
of exhilarating pastimes, perfect 
bodily health is as impossible as 
moral and mental vigor. And as

CHECKED PERSPI- 
RATION 

Is the fruitful cause of sickness, 
disease.* and death to multitudes 
every y« ar. If a tea-kettle of wa- 
ter is boiling on the fire, the steam 
is seen issuing from the spout & , 
carrying the extra heat away with 
it ; but if the lid be fastened down 
and the spout be plugged, a de- 
structive expl< sion follows in a 
very short time. c 

Heat is constantly generated in 
the human body, by the chemical 
disorganization, the combustion of 
the food we eat. There are seven 
millions of tubes or pores on the 
surface of the body, which, in 
health, are constantly open, con- 
veying from the system, by what 
is called insensible^

which, having answered its pur-

which are thrown from the escape 
pipe, in puffs of any ordinary 
steam engine ; but this insensible 
perspiration c irries with it, in a 
dissolved form, very much of the 
waste matter of the system, to the 
extent of a pound or more every 
twenty hours. It must be appa- 
rent, then, that if the pores of the 
skin are closed, if the multitudes 
of valves, which are placed over 
the whole surface of the human 
body are shut down, two things 
take place : First, the internal

of water are swallowed to quench 
the internal fire — this we call 
"fever." 

When the warm steam is con- 
stantly escaping from the body in 
health it keeps the skin moist, 
and there is a soft, pleasant feel 
and warmth about it. But when 
the pores are closed the skin feels 
harsh, hot and dry. But another 
result follows the closing of the 
pores of the skin, and more im- 
mediately dangerous ; a main out- 
let for the waste of the body is 
closed, the waste re-mingles with 
the blood, which in a few hours 
becomes impure, and begins to

off, and there is an outlet for the 
waste of the system. 

Thus it is that one of the most 
important means for curing all 
sickness is bodily cleanliness, 6 
which is simply removing from 
the mouths of these little pores 
that gum, dust and oil, which 
clog them up. 

Thus it is, also, that personal 
cleanliness is one of the main ele- 
ments of health : thus it is that 
filth and disease habitate together, 
the world over. 

There are two kinds of perspi- 
ration, sensible and insensible.

The great practical lesson which 
we wish to impress upon the mind 
of the reader is this :

keep in motion until you get to a 
good fire, or to some placp ivhere you

ASIATIC CHOLEEA. 

News conies from France that 
cholera has appeared in the cities 
of Toulon, a Marseilles, and else- 
where. L ist year it began at its 
regular home in India, 6 and ex- 
tended westward through Arabia 6 
to Egypt. Judging from all past 
histories of the malady, it wiil be 
likely to spread through Europe, 
and then to Ameiica. Its advance 
this time has not been so rapid as 
in former epidemics, else it would 
have reached our chores early last 
spring, but it will be well to ex- 
pect it before the season is over, 
and to make every preparation 
for it.

tion of orinasal vowels see Hand-

The real cause of cholera has long 
been a subject of inquiry. Latter- 
ly it, like all other maladies, has 
been pronounced the result of a 
11 germ ; " and much money has 
been spent by France, Germany, 
and other European governments 
in aiding certain gentlemen to find 
the particular germ". Egypt last 
year was visited for this specific 
purpose, and it was at one time 
announced that the animalcule 
had been found. It was an ani- 
mal form, taking the length of 
from 40,000 to 60,000 of them to 
make an inch. And, as usual in 
all these "germ " investigations, 
they were present in - - - -

some cases and absent in others, 
— a fact proving conclusively that 
they are not at all the cause of the 
disease, else the disease could nev- 
er occur without them ; but that 
these minute organisms exist only 
when disease has caused sufficient 
death-change in tissues for the 
foul things to find soil to grow in. 
Speaking of these germs, (bacter- 
ia, microbes, etc.) Dr. G. F. Yeo, 
the latest English writer on Phy- 
i siolosy, says : 

' ' Bacteria do not appear with- 
out progenitors more than any 
other form of living thing. They 
float lifeless and dry in multitudes 
through our atmosphere, and ad- 
here to all substances to which the 
air has free access. - - - -

The moment they light upon suit- 
able soil, they hurst into prodig- 
ious activity. Such a soil is sup- 
plied by any substance capable of 
spontaneous decomposition. So 
long as the tissue of a higher 
animal is healthy and well nour- 
ished, bacteria cannot thrive in 
immediate contact with it. They 
can only exist in the intestines, 
etc., because they can find accumu- 
lations of lifeless fluids there which 
ofTer them a suitable nidus. 
Active, living tissues are able to 
destroy bacteria ; and it is only 
owing to this bactericide power 
of our textures that we can with 
immunity breathe into our lungs 
the atmospheric air, and swallow 
multitudes of theee organisms. 
But for this power, every - -

We have taken space to put 
this question in its true light; for, 
the public needs to be undeceived 
on a topic that a few cranky indi-

selves a marvel, and about which 
they may talk with a solemn show

their speculations have been ex-

to restore the diseased tissues will

mortality was frightful, while 
other portions almost entirely es-

in Toulon, France, which has the 
repute of being a place of abom- 
inable dirtiness ; and Marseilles 
next to it. This history will no 
doubt be repeated while the de-

from these facts is a very plain 
one. They call for a complete 
cleaning of cities, towns, and resi- 
dences, at every joint and in 
every particular. No filth should 
he left concealed, no work of pur- 
ification be i alf done. The blind- 
est a ley probably needs more 
vigorous working than any open 
street : and vaults, pools, garrets, 
and cellars demand the most 
searching proceedings. And these 
matters should be attended to be- 
fore the cholera comes and not de- 
layed till the visit of the de- 
stroyer has legii'i. Then they

slacking of the cleanliness is per- 
missible — gutters must be kept 
free, garbage must not accumu- 
late, vaults and pools must be 
disinfected and not allowed to be- 
come offensive. By adopting and 
continuing radical measures of 
this kind, theiv is every reason to 
believe that cholera may be clip- 
ped of most of its dangers and 
made comparatively harmless. 

In addition to local and individ- 
ual cleanliness, it is important to 
eat regularly and of the common

'and the majority of vegetables. It 
j\s very unwise to disturb the di- 
jgestion and impoverish the blood 
at such times, by this unnatural 
mode of living. Coarse and unripe 
vegetables,, as string beans and

But all ripe fruits, and quite as

be used daily. It is very important 
to know that they are fresh, and 
not to gormandize with them, but

LOVE OF APPLAUSE. 

To I e insensible to public opin- 
ion, or to the estimation in which 
we arc held by others, indicates 
anything rath* r than a good and 
generous spirit It is, indeed, the 
mark of a low and worthless char- 
acter; — devoid of principle, and 
therefore devoid of shame. A 
young man is not far from ruin, 
when he can say, without blush- 
ing, ** I do not care what othets 
think of me." 

But to have a proper regard to 
public opinion is one thing ; to 
make that opinion our rule of ac-

another. The one we may cher- 
ish consistently with the purest 
virtue and the most unbending 
rectitude ; the other we cannot 
adopt without an utter abandon- 
ment of principle and disregard of 
duty. The young man whose 
great aim is to please, who makes 
the opinion and favor of others 
his rule and motive of action, 
stands ready to adopt any senti- 
ments, or pursue any course of con- 
duct, however false and criminal, 
provided only, that it be popular. 
In every emergency, his first ques- 
tion is, what will my companions, 
what will the world think and say 
of me if I adopt this or that course 
of conduct? Duty, the eternal

are not thought of. Custom, fash- 
ion, popular favor — these are" the 
things that till his entire vision, 
and decide every question of opin- 
ion and duty. Such a man can 
never be trusted ; for, he has no 
integrity, and no independence of 
mind, to obey the dictates of recti- 
tude. He is at the mercy of every 
casual impulse and change of pop- 
id. ir opinion ; and you can no 
more tell whether he v ill be right 
or wrong to-morrow, than you 
can predict the course of the wind, 
or what shape the clouds will as- 
sume.

What the ercd of thus acting in 
compliance with custom in oppo- 
sition to one's own convictions of 
duty? It is to lose the esteem 
and respect of the very men whom 
you thus attempt to please. Your 
defect of principle and hollo w- 
heartedness are easily perceived ; 
and though the persons to whom 
you thus sacrifice your conscience, 
may affect to commend your com- 
plaisance, you may he assured, 
that, inwardly, they despise you 
for it. Young men can hardly 
commit a greater mistake than to 
think of gaining the esteem of 
others, by yielding to their wishes, 
contrary to their own sense of 
duty. Such conduct is always 
morally wrong,

SALT. 

Question. — Is salt a necessary ar- 
ticle of food ? 

Answer. — It may be assumed to 
be from the following facts : 1. 
The craving for it is very general. 
But the opponents to its use — and 
we believe there are those who 
regard >-alt as a poison — would 
claim, probably, that the craving 
is the result simply of a vitiated 
appetite. 2. The most distressing

protracted use of saltless food. 
Criminals condemned to live on 
bread unmixed with salt are said 
to have suffered fearfully — to have 
been devoured by worms engen- 
dered in their stomachs. On the 
other hand, it does not follow 
that in moderate quantities it is 
injurious because a long course of 
diet on salt-preserved provisions 
produces scurvy. This disease is 
supposed not to result from the 
use of the salt, but from the lack 
of potash compounds, which seem 
required in the muscles and flesh- 
juice, as are soda compounds in 
the blood. Plants near the sea 
are richer in soda, while tho^e of 
inland growth are richer in pot- 
ash. This will -

afford a useful hint for health- 
seekers; 01 those living near the sea 
should go inland to replenish the 
potash constituents of a healthy 
system ; while the inland invalids 
may !*eek the sea-shore or vicinity 
with advantage. Dr. Scudder 
says : " In the milk diet that I 
recommend in sickness, common 
salt is used freely, the milk being 
boiled and given hot, and if the 
patient cannot take the usual 
quantity in his food I have it giv- 
en in his drink. This matter is 
so important that it cannot be re- 
peated too often, or dwelt upon 
too long. The most marked ex- 
ample of this want of common 
salt I have ever noticed has been 
in surgical disease, especially in 
open wounds.

Without a supply of salt the 
tongue would become broad, pal- 
lid, puffy, with a tenacious pasty 
coat, the secretions arrested, the 
circulation feeble, the effusion at 
point of injury serous," with an 
unpleasant watery pus, which at 
last becomes a mere sanies or ichor. 
A few days of free allowance would 
change all this, and the patient 
yet along well." 

In this connection 6 I will quote 
what is said concerning salt by 
Pereira : "Though salt is a con- 
stituent of most of our foods and 
drinks, we do not, in this way, 
obtain a sufficient supply of it to 
satisfy the wants of the system, 
and nature has accordingly fur- 
nished us with an appetite for it.

table as a condiment, in reality 
serves other and far more impor-

article of food, being essential for 
the preservation of health and the 
maintenance < f life. It forms an 
essential constituent of blood, 
which fluid doubtless owes many 
of its important qualities to it. 
Thus it probably contributes to 
keep the blood corpuscles un- 
changed ; for when these are put 
into water a powerful and raj id

remain unchanged. In malignant 
cholera, and some other diseases 
in which there is a deficiency^ of 
the saline ingredients of the 
blood, this fluid has a very dark 
or even black appearance, whence 
it has been assumed by some writ- 
ers that the red color of the blood 
is dependent on the presence of 
its saline ingredients. From the 
salt of the blood, aided by water, 
the gastric juice derives its hydro- 
chloric acid, and the blood and the 
bile their soda." 

Sixteen pounds a year is said to 
be the average yearly consump- 
tion 6 of salt by adults — about 
five ounces per week. 

Salt was formerly called muriate 
of soda, but now more commonly 
chloride of sodium.

LAMAETINE. 

The character of Lamaitine. a 
with all its virtues and all its 
faults, is revealed 6 in the history 
of his life. As a statesman he 
must rank very low, being simply 
a theorist ; but his errors were 
those of a noble mind tilled to 
overflowing with pity for the suf- 
fering and oppressed. As a writer 
he stands in the foremost ranks of 
French authors. His style is glow- 
ing and picturesque, his powers of 
description are marvellous, his 
poetry is the most poetical in the 
French language ; of all her writ- 
ers he has the most soul; as a story- 
teller no one is more charming** ;

his faults are a strong tendency to 
the inflated and the exaggerated, 
to a morbid sentimentalisni which 
too frequently sinks into bathos. 

Like a all Frenchmen, intense 
egotism was one of the prominent 
errors of his character. This fault 
was redeemed, however, by so 
many noble and shining qualities, 
that it almost disappears in their 
lustre. He was the soul of honor, 
the bravest of the brave, the most 
generous of men. Pages could be 
filled with anecdotes of his gentle- 
ness of heart and boundless char- 
ity. The emoluments which he 
derived as a member of the Pro-

his only holiday, was devoted to 
charity ; his doors were open to all 
who suffered, who were in want. 
All who came, whether known or 
unknown, he greeted with extend- 
ed hand, with kindly smiles and 
words, to soften the bitterness and 
humiliation of their position. ''I 
am dying of hunger," one da)' la- 
conically wrote an unknown. "I 
have five hundred francs, they 
are yours with all my heart," 
wrote back Lamartine. " If I had 
a hundred francs I should be tru-

thor in his presence.

but the divine impulse of charity 
remained as active as ever. He 
was saving up to buy himself a 
little pony-chaise to take the air

who lived in the neighborhood,

recently delivered a lecture on dy-

he expressed his deliberate opin-

gineering is being revolutionized. 
These machines, he said, not only 
convert the power of a rotating 
machine into electricity, but they 
are able also to reconveit electric- 
ity into working energy. As the 
most perfect solution of this prob- 
lem the lecturer spoke of the ma- 
chine put up at Munich* 2 by Marcel 
Deprez, which conveyed the pow- 
er produced by a steam engine at 
Miesbacli 6 , to Munich, a distance 
of thirty -five miles, by means of 
an ordinary iron telegraph wire.

THE MEASUKEMENT 
OF TIME. 

There is nothiug of greater 
practical importance in the daily 
life of men; nothing, perhaps, 
more closely connected with the 
progress of the human race, than 
the art of measuring time ; and 
from that distant period when the 
lapse of time was marked only by 
the alternations of day and night, 
and the changes of the moon, 
down to the present day, when, 
for purposes of science men meas- 
ure the millionth part of a sec- 
ond, the improvements in the ap- 
pliances for time - measurement 
have - - -

ress of civilization. 

We all understand that time 
must be measured by some regu- 
lated series of motions, and we 
know how, in a fashion of her 
own, nature marks time for us — 
by the setting of the sun, the 
crowing of cocks, the budding and 
falling of leaves, the tides of the 
sea, etc., nil of which phenomena 
occur invariably at certain regular 
and familiar intervals ; but very 
e rh in the history of our race it 
was found that something more 
accurate than these natural 
changes was required, and art 
soon came to the assistance of 
nature. The first artificial con- 
trivances for the purposes of tell- 
ing time were sun-dials, hour- 
glasses, ----

I ured time by the course of a shail- 
I ow over a rudely marked scale, and 
were consequently useless in the 
night or in cloudy weather, but 
they were soon supplemented by 
hour-glasses, which marked time by 
the trickling of tine sand through 
a small opening between an upper 
and lower glass bulb, just one 
hour being required for the whole 
quantity of sand to trickle from 
one bulb to the other, The clep- 
sulra was on the same principle 
as the hour glass, employing wat- 
er instead of sand, its simplest 
form being an upright cylinder 
large enough to hold several gal- 
lons of water, with a small open-

HOW TO SLEEP. 

It is very important to sleep so 
that the rest shall be sound, pro- 
ducing beneficial results, so that 
on waking in the morning there 
shall be no weariness or discom- 
fort. To obtain a good night's 
rest there must be peace of mind ; 
nothing so hardens the bed as a 
reproachful conscience. Heavy 
suppers, or indigestible food, pro- 
duce restlessness and nightmares ; 
alcohol dulls the brain, but does 
not soothe the spirit into a com- 
fortable night's rest. The head 
should not lie too low ; just high 
enough to allow the blood to re- 
cede freely from the -------

on the right side to allow the food 
that is digested to pass out of the

produce restlessness, and indispo-

in the morning ; if too few, fail-

sense of cold hinders sleep There 
should be plenty of fresh air, hav-

the door, left open, and never on 
any account let the fireplace be

SAND. 

There are few things so com- 
mon and so varied as sand. An 
old sea-captain nearing the Atlan- 
tic coast will tell exactly where he 
is by the sand which the lead 
brings up from the bottom ; and 
once an important robbery in 
Prussia was traced by means of a 
bag of sand. A box of treasure, 
belonging to the Koyal Bank, 
which had been sent from Berlin 
to Munster, was found, on being

opened, to contain one thousand 
dollars' worth less of gold coin 
than when it started, the money 
having heen taken out, and its 
place filled with a hag of sand. 
The robbery had been skilfully 
executed, for, the box showed no 
signs of having been disturbed, 
and all efforts to find the thief 
were unsuccessful, until a famous 
geologist suggested that some of 
the sand should be sent him, with 
specimens of that near all the sta- 
tions through which the box had 
passed. This being done, he 
quickly told where the robbery 
had been committed, and the po- 
lice, having this clue, soon secured 
the thief.

idea of the amount of this miner- 
al, by remembering that it not 
only forms the vast deposits of 
sand along our coasts, and in the 
deserts, but also the great underly- 
ing strata of sandstone rocks ; that 
it is present in all soils, and is neces- 
sary to all animal and vegetable 
life. Eock crystals, and many of 
our favorite jewels, such as topaz, 
chalcedony, blood-stone, chryso- 
prase, and jasper are also quartz, 
and it enters largely in the shape 
of veins into rocks, in the com- 
position of which it has no part. 

Banks of drifted sand stretch 
along our Atlantic coast from 
Newfoundland to Cape Cod The 
highest point of these, known as 
Sable Island, lies about eighty-five 
miles off the coast of Nova Scotia.

and one arid a half wide, and is 
said to rise to a height of one 
hundred feet. Its surface consists 
of rounded hills of sand, and is 
continually being changed by the 
action of the weather. There was 
formerly a good harbor on one 
side, but it has now been entirely 
closed by a storm. Coarse grass 
grows upon the island, and also 
cranberry and whortleberry plants. 
Various animals, such as horses, 
rabbits, and rats have been can led 
there and naturalized. The wal- 
rus, or sea-horse, used to frequent 
the island, and tli« Greenland 
seal is still found there, together 
with the shells of tropical fish.

the Polar Current. In the last 
forty years, the western extremity 
of the island has been diminished 
seven miles, and the whole has 
been growing narrower, while its 
height has been increasing, espe- 
cially at the eastern end. The 
difference between its position on 
old charts, and on tho-e recently 
made, shows that the whole island 
is being moved eastward by the 
steady westerly winds, as, very 
probably, may be the whole sand- 
bank upon which it rests, although 
it covers an area one-third as great 
as that of Nova Scotia.

thin but extending laterally to 
distances of which we can form no

By far the largest library in the

Paris, which, in 1874, contained 
2,000 000 printed books and 150,- 
000 manuscripts. Which is the 
next largest it is difficult to say ; 
for, the British Museum and the 
Imperial Library at St Petersburg 
both had, in 1874, 1,100.000 vol- 
umes. After them comes the 
Boyal Library of Munich, with 
its 900,000 books. The Vatican

it is surpassed, so far as the num-

STANDARD-PHONOGRAPHIC 
AND OTHER WORKS. 

ANDREW J. GRAHAM, 

AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER. 

744 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. 



PHONOGRAPHY is a shorthand system of writing according to sound or pronun- 
ciation, rejecting silent letters and ambiguous signs. The original system (Steno- 
graphic Sound-Hand, 1837) was an improvement by Isa ic Pitman, of England, on 
the system of Harding (18J3, 1828), which was an improvement on the system of 
Samuel Taylor (1786). 

" EDITIONS " OF THE OLD PHONOGRAPHY.— The Old Phonography was va- 
riously modified. The different modifications, or systems, called " editions," were 
published —First edition, in 1837 ; Second edition, Jan., 1840 ; Third edition, Dec, 
1840; Fourth edition, 1841 ; Fifth edition, 1812 ; Sixth edition, 1844 ; Seventh 
edition, 1845 ; Eighth edition, 1817 ; Ninth edition, 1853. This last and best edi- 
tion was made the basis of Standard Phonography. See Odds and Ends for an ac- 
count of the characteristics of these " editions/' 




" Standard Phonography is now acknowledged by the most accomplished phonog- 
raphers to be the best system of shorthand writing that has ever been offered to the 
world. In the Adaptation of its Characters to the sounds of our language, in its 
Legibility, in its Powers of Contraction, in the Rapidity with which it can be writ- 
ten, in the Logical and Convenient A rrangement and Presentation of its Principles, 
and in its Ease of Acquisition, it immeasurably surpasses every other system of short- 
hand. — Prof. John B. Holmes, A. M., LL. B. 

" The only system worth the attempt to learn."— Chas. A. Sumner, the leading 
reporter of San Francisco. 

" Standard Phonography is the most philosophical, rapid, and beautiful system 
of shorthand writing ever invented. The system of Phonography as now used, is 



the result of the labor and study of Andrew J. Graham, by whom Pitman's system was 
used as a basis, while he has made very many alterations, and added many new 
features [new principle^, rules, combinations, devices, contractions, and word- 
signs], making it at once the most unique and useful system of writing that can be 
imagined." — Haverhill Gazette. 

IMITATIONS. — See comparisons of them with Standard Phonography In Xos. 
27 and 72 of the Student's Journal, where the demonstration is compete that the 
imitations require about one third, more labor and space than Standard Phonogra- 
phy; and are inferior in every other respect. See Visitor Vol. II., for an overwhelm- 
ing body of testimonials from the best reporters of the country, against the inferi- 
or imitations and in favor of Standard Phonography. See Chas, A. Sumner's Lec- 
ture on Shorthand and Reporting. 



THE STAND1KD-PHONOGBAPHIC SERIES. 
" 4 more complete series of works on any subject than Mr. Graham's Standard- 
Phunographic Series has never been published. These Text-Books are the only ones 
that are perfect in themselves ; and, in no respect, could I suggest an improve- 
ment in the manner of bringing the subject before even the dullest student; and 
tue introduction of them into all institutions of learning, where Phonography is 
taught, is the highest compliment that can be paid to their merit." — Charles Flow-
